STUC on Scottish Defence League

August 19th 2011

Following the decision of the regulatory committee of the City of Edinburgh Council to reject the application made by the Scottish Defence League to march on September 10, Grahame Smith, General Secretary of the Scottish Trades Union Council (STUC) said

“The STUC welcome the decision of the regulatory committee to reject the application by the Scottish Defence League to spread their hatred on the streets of Edinburgh. This sends out a clear message that racism and fascism has no place in Scotland’s towns and cities.”
